Durham sheriff arrests ladder climber in Confederate statue destruction: ‘No one is getting away with what happened.’

“My first responsibility as governor is to protect North Carolinians and keep them safe,” Cooper said. “The likelihood of protesters being injured or worse as they may try to topple any one of the hundreds of monuments in our state concerns me. And the potential for those same white supremacist elements we saw in Charlottesville to swarm the site, weapons in hand, in retaliation is a threat to public safety.”

The Durham sheriff is a weasel. "Let them tear things up and if we can ID them we will arrest them"

Do your goddamn job, Sheriff.

The same governor also said last night that all of the monuments should come down.

Never should have allowed the statue to be damaged in the first place.

Nope.

Again, I'm seeing "they may hurt themselves while destroying property. I don't want them to hurt themselves. Even worse, those violent whities may show up and try to stop them".

This is similar to a Hawkeye thread wheres she calls every Trump supporter a racist...

Workers World Party (WWP) is a communist party in the United States, founded in 1959 by a group led by Sam Marcy of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP).

Well, imagine that... Sounds like such a wonderful group of folks...

Unfortunately, no mention of ANTIFA members arming themselves with bricks,bodily fluids and bike locks.

He's a Dem governor that's trying to rationalize doing the right thing in a way that won't piss off his base. That frickwad McAuliffe would probably send the state troopers in to release her from jail.

Police don't have an obligation to intervene as I've read repeatedly on this board

Graffiti is against the law, and people get arrested for it, unless you paint on the right side of history.

He didn't get it right. He's a fricking idiot. The Left also showed up with weapons in hand and they were the original agitators.

Standing by in the face of law breakers sets the tone for protestors to disregard cops.
A benign presence will result in escalated violence in future.

What about the fact that tearing down statues is against the law.

So were riots in Ferguson, Baltimore, DC, but little was done. At least these American ISIS are going to be brought to court.
